Real life Tanukis

In traditional stories, the Tanuki was said to have had the ability to transform leaves into gold. This may explain why furniture is depicted as a leaf overworld and why Nook's shop uses a leaf as a logo. Tanuki cloth is also associated with wealth and money in Japanese culture, which might be a nod to Tom's financial success.
